Kombumerri Ngarang-Wal Saltwater elders will lodge a native title claim in a bid to stop construction of the Gold Coast light rail.
The First Nations elders say the planned route through the Burleigh Headland will desecrate a traditional birthing spot.
Indigenous Elders in the area say they have been left out of the community consultation phase by the department of transport and main roads.
Transport Minister Mark Bailey says a separate native title claim lodged in 2017 has already been taken into account.
